Beyond Memorization: Building Problem-Solving Skills in Sequences for Future Math Teachers

Sat, 07 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study looks into how future math teachers solve problems when dealing with sequences. Data show a worrying trend: none of the respondents received a very high score, and more than 60% received a low grade. The biggest obstacle turned out to be harmonic sequences, indicating a critical knowledge gap. Even simple sequences, such as arithmetic sequences, could be challenging, especially when phrased issues and non-consecutive phrases were included. It's interesting to note that students started using online tools like YouTube lessons as part of a self-help movement. This, however, draws attention to a possible over-reliance on outside sources. The study highlights how crucial it is to reinforce fundamental information across a range of sequence types. Future math teachers can approach and solve sequence issues with more confidence if they have a solid grasp of the fundamentals and have conducted purposeful web research. This will ultimately result in more effective teaching methods.

This study aims to investigate the impact of leadership and organizational commitment on improving the quality of education in rapidly growing educational institutions, enabling them to effectively compete with other universities. The approach used is a quantitative method, utilizing questionnaires as the primary means of data collection. The study encompassed a population of 2,335 individuals, with a sample size of 335. The research results show that: first, from the results of these calculations, it can be seen that sig. research < sig. 5%, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1). This means that there is a significant influence of leadership on the quality of education at STAHN Mpu Kuturan Singaraja. Second, from the results of these calculations, it can be seen that the research sig is < sig 5%. The null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. Therefore, these findings provide support for the research hypothesis, which posits a significant influence of organizational commitment on education quality at STAHN Mpu Kuturan Singaraja. Third, from the results of these calculations, it can be seen that the research sig is < sig 5%, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0).

Effect of Phosphate Fertilization and Liming on Ultisol Soil on Dry Corn Seed Yield (Zea mays L.) and Soybeans (Glycine max L.(Merr))

Fertilization of phosphate and lime on ultisol soils will increase the pH of the soil where a high soil pH causes an increase in nutrients. However, the fertilization carried out must pay attention to several things, namely the plants being fertilized, the type of soil, the type of fertilizer used, the dose given, the fertilization time and the method of fertilization. This study aims to obtain information on the effect of phosphate fertilization and liming on ultisol soil on the yield of dry corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.(Merr). This research was carried out in Halong Village, Baguala District, Ambon City, which took place from January to May 2024. Soil and plant analysis was carried out at the Soil Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Pattimura University. The experimental design used in this study is a complete randomized design with a factorial pattern with three replicates. The factors studied were P fertilizer and lime, where the parameters studied were the weight of dry seeds, corn kernels and soybeans. The results showed that phosphate fertilization on ultisol soil could increase soil pH which led to an increase in dry seed weight of corn and soybeans and the best combination of phosphate and lime fertilizer dosage on ultisol soil for an efficient increase in dry seed weight of corn and soybean was 92.6 kg P_2O5/Ha and 1.5 x Ald.
